  • Patent number: 9487687
    Abstract: An object to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a bookbinding adhesive which is excellent in high-speed application properties, cutting properties, book opening properties, and bookbinding strength. The present invention is directed to a bookbinding adhesive characterized by having a melt viscosity in the range of from 1,000 to 10,000 mPa·s, as measured at 120° C. by means of a cone plate viscometer, exhibiting a JIS A hardness of 20 or more, as measured with respect to the adhesive which is applied and allowed to stand for 30 minutes, in an atmosphere at 23° C., and exhibiting a JIS A hardness of 95 or less, as measured with respect to the adhesive which is applied and allowed to stand for 30 minutes, in an atmosphere at 23° C., and is then allowed to stand in an atmosphere at 23° C. and at a humidity of 50% for one week, wherein a cured film of the adhesive has an upper yield stress of 7 MPa or less.

  • Patent number: 7612151
    Abstract: A moisture-curable polyurethane hot-melt adhesive, which includes a urethane prepolymer obtained by a reaction between polyisocyanate and polyols, wherein the polyols contain: long-chain aliphatic polyester polyol (A) represented by a general formula (I); aliphatic polyether polyol (B) having a number average molecular weight of 3,000 to 15,000; and aromatic polyester polyol (CI) which has a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 5,000 and has a glass-transition temperature of 40° C. or more; (in the general formula (I), R1 and R2 each independently represent a straight chain alkylene group wherein the number of carbon atoms in the group is an even number, the sum of the number of carbon atoms in R1 and R2 is 12 or more, and n represents a number of 3 to 40).

  • Publication number: 20040063869
    Abstract: An isocyanate group-containing hot melt urethane prepolymer, a morpholine ether-based crosslinking catalyst, and at least one sulfur atom-containing organic acid selected from the group consisting of sulfonic acids and sulfinic acids are used as essential components. The urethane prepolymer is a compound having an isocyanate group capable of reacting with moisture in the air or a substrate to be coated to form a crosslinked structure in the molecule. The morpholine ether-based crosslinking catalyst contributes to the moisture-crosslinking reactivity at room temperature. The sulfur atom-containing organic acid contributes to an improvement in thermal stability during melting.
